Before we get going, here's the bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should be considered as investment advice.

This conversation is for informational and hopefully entertainment purposes only.

So, while we hope you find

it both informative and entertaining, please do your own research or speak to a financial advisor

before putting a dime of your money into these crazy markets. You're about to listen to a special

preview edition of the Grant Williams podcast featuring my very special guest, David Murren of the Global Forecaster.

David's been a guest of mine on the pod.

He's been a guest on my video series about time.

And each time has generated a ton of mail, understandably so.

What he has to say is, I won't say, controversial, but it's certainly thought-provoking. It certainly challenges a lot of male, understandably so, because what he has to say is, I won't say controversial, but it's certainly thought-provoking, and it certainly challenges a lot of norms on both sides of the debate, and I think for me that's a key reason why I love having him on, love talking to him, and hopefully you'll feel the same after this. Every episode of the Grant-Williams podcast, including the In-game, Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, This Week in Doom, shifts happen. And my new series with Dmitri Cofinas, the 100-year pivot, is available to copper and silver-tier subscribers at my website, grant-dash-williams.com. Copper-tie subscribers, get access to all the podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletters are things that make you go,. So, if you enjoy it here on the show, and if you'd like more high-quality content

like it, then please make your way over to grant-wilions.com and you're an exciting community today.

And now, on to see you.

It's been a while since we had lunch overlooking the Thames.

How are you?

Well, I hope.

Really well.

It's great to see a winter ice grant who survived in English winter,

and there's now farishing like a daffodil that's in relief.

What can I tell you? I deserve some sort of medal, I have to say. You do, you do. Leaving the Caribbean to come and spend a lot of his time in the UK over the winter. The plane was empty going this way. But anyway, listen, Mity, there's time for a reality check. Obviously, there's so much going on and it's kind of right in your wheelhouse. So I'm so thrilled to have the chance to talk to you because I used this phrase when we were chatting off air

just... check. Obviously, there's so much going on and it's kind of right in your wheelhouse. So I'm so thrilled to have a chance to talk to you because I used this phrase when we were chatting off air, just I'm drowning in certainty. And everybody is absolutely convinced that they know exactly what's going on and what's happening and how long it's going to take and the way the domino's going to topple. And it just drives me insane. So I thought, you know what? I know exactly the right person that talked to about this. One, D. Murren Esquire, and here you are. So thanks for doing this. I'm really grateful. It's always a pleasure to be with you, Grohl. You said to me, privately off air, so few people really understand this war. That's really how I feel, and I'm not too stubborn to admit that I don't
